How chain-owned homes in Jacksonville, FL compare
This group set against every nursing home in Jacksonville, FL, from the current CMS release.
Riverside Post Acute runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 52.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces are hard to count on. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $17,777 in fines. The last inspection was recent, December 2025, and the three-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing suggest a home that's neither failing nor standing out. Ask direct questions about weekend coverage and how they screen and retain aides.
Aviata At San Jose runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 55.8% against a national 45.8%, so nearly six in ten staff left last year. The corporate-owned, 120-bed home has 10 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in April 2025. All three CMS star ratings land at 3 out of 5. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the thin staffing and heavy churn are the numbers worth asking about.
Vivo Healthcare University runs about 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the sharper number: 69.3% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 3/5 inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was November 2024. Quality measures score 5/5, so the clinical outcomes look strong on paper even though staffing depth and retention lag.
Westside Oaks runs 3.27 nursing hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing sits alongside 24 deficiencies on the current record, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $96,892 fine and placement in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections. Staff turnover is 49.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The five-star quality measure rating comes mostly from resident assessment data, not from the inspection record, and the two are telling different stories here.
